Kanye West Added To August 9 “Jimmy Kimmel Live”

Kanye West will headline this Thursday’s edition of “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”

Upon initially announcing listings for this week’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” episode, ABC said that the August 9 episode would feature interviews with Bob Newhart and Awkwafina and a musical performance by Blood Orange featuring A$AP Rocky.

It has since revised those listings.

ABC now says that Kanye West will replace Newhart as the lead interview guest. Awkwafina is still scheduled for her interview, but Blood Orange and A$AP Rocky are no longer scheduled for a performance.
